This year I’ve absolutely loved your red lentil cauliflower burger patties. I’ve made them so many times!My favorite fall drinks…. I guess I’m a sucker for pumpkin spice anything. I used to also love peppermint mochas. I don’t drink the really sugary stuff anymore. My sweetie and I make french press every morning year-round. But this fall it has been tasting even better than normal. Yum! We got some stumptown coffee beans recently and have been enjoying it.

Maple Pecan Pie Smoothies and Pecan Pie Smoothies are my favorite indulgent drinkable treats…and Kahlua and coffee warms me up as the weather gets cooler. Favorite 2013 recipes? ohgoodgolly Richa, I’ve bookmarked, saved and/or printed almost every single one of them, I’m not kidding. If I had to choose, I’d say BBQ Chickpea individual Pizza, Chickpea Kabocha Fries, Kesar Burfi, Cinnamon Rolls, and all of your lentil and burger recipes. I’m sorry, I just can’t narrow it down any more than that.

that Indian flatbread with avocado is calling my name, but I might have to go with the cauliflower steaks. I am a sucker for shakes too.Favorite cold weather hot drinks, hot apple cider with cinnamon and a hot pumpkin-almond milk.Thank you Richa.
